Pho Binh 59 South

Atmosphere:The oolong milk tea is average among the boba places around Chinatown. Their oolong tea is very flavorful and it does not taste super sweet. They don't use powder, which is really nice, unlike many other tapioca places. The black coffee with sea cream is average. It's not sweet, so if you like the full flavors of a coffee, this is the place to go. Jasmine Green Tea with Sea FoamTheir sea foam isn't creamy. The green tea is okay. Matcha Soy Tea with Grass JellyThe beverage is flavorful of the soy, but the matcha seems to be lacking flavor. It doesn't have the full flavors of matcha, could be poor wualityPrice: The prices are more expensive here than the surrounding area. Boba Game: their boba is not too sweet, so that's realService: The staff here is always happy to help you out, and they let you sample their beverages if you ask.

Since I'm always on the go during the week days, I had to force myself to eat something really quick and I wanted to stay away from fast food. I'm glad I came here. Sat down right away for a party of 1. They came and took my order within 4 min, ate, and left all under 1 hr. I think it was closer to 45 min and I'm a SUPER slow eater. The broth here was really good! I wasn't expecting it because I was so worried about time. The second that broth hit my lips, I knew I made the right choice for lunch. I've never been to this location before but I'm definitely coming here again. If you need a quick bite to eat, nothing is quicker than pho. That's pho sure.

Consistently solid, and conveniently located right off 59. Broth is good, meats are good. they have the optional bone marrow broth which I would recommend splitting with another as eating all would be a bit much. They also offer banh mi (vietnamese sandwiches) and non pho dishes. This is my default place and i commute about 15 min away to come here.

My wife loved her Angel Island combo smoothy, peach, mango and strawberry. I really enjoyed my iced Viet coffee with condensed milk. Wifey had the regular sized chicken noodle soup....I helped and we still couldn't finish all of it, very good. I usually try the grilled pork banh mi with a fried egg on my first visit to a "new for us" place......very tasty. We also shared some fried chicken dumplings...some of the best we've ever had.....we'll be back for more goodies. They have a bunch of locations so you should be able to find one near you.

PURCHASED· Banh Mi Dac Biet (i.e., the most common banh mi, which includes most ingredients--It translates to "special" banh mi." COSTS· ~$5 (I could be wrong) POSITIVE· Nothing beats some authentic banh mi in Houston, Texas. (I live in NYC so it's difficult to find good Vietnamese food.) · There's a hot lady working the cash register. I exchanged a bit with her while checking out. NEGATIVE· Nothing. IMPRESSION· Great spot I miss Houston Vietnamese food :(

Amazing pho, super nice, and love the vibe, it's really calming. Definitely the place to come too‍

We saw a roach on the wall by our booth at the very front of the restaurant, on our way out. Speechless. The pho itself tasted very watered down. This may have been good at one point in the past, but there's a reason we did not see a single Vietnamese customer dining here. My Mother and I were the only Asians in the whole place. During a busy lunch hour, the place was only 40% full. I may call the City of Houston restaurant inspector on them due to the roach. Beyond gross.

The best chicken pho I've tasted in myLife. And I've had many. I always get the medium mixed white and dark meat chicken Pho with extra dark meat on the side. Yummmmm & their smoothies are so tasty and can be customized even made with Splenda. Great place for pho and vermicelli. I ate the pork spring roll tht came with it on the pic I attached. Delicious

Ive been here a couple of times and have had great food and service. Today I dined in but wound up being in quite a hurry. The young woman who helped me took my order quickly and provided me with exactly what I needed. My food was delivered quickly to my table and at the correct temperatures. My spring rolls were not served with peanut sauce as I had ordered and I always appreciate that. They were crisp, fresh, and cold plus nicely and tightly wrapped... exactly how I love them.My pho ga was served piping hot and without white onion as I asked also. I wound up taking most of my soup to go and containers were brought out to me as well as a to go iced tea refill. A woman who I assumed to be one of the owners let me know the kitchen was closing and out of chicken broth when I asked about ordering extra to take home but she offered me the beef broth in which I accepted. She came out and nicely packaged everything up for me and reminded me not to forget my tea. So sweet. Will always be back when I'm in this part of town. Thank you!

My husband and I were visiting from California and we were looking for a pho spot to try out. Pho Binh 59 South did not disappoint! We both went for the #1 Pho dac biet (1 regular and 1 large). Not only was the broth very comforting and a nice blend of savory and a little sweet with nice aromatics but we were both impressed that they served the pho with cilantro in addition to basil (this isn't common in pho places in SF, SJ or Oakland or even OC) and the server asked us if we wanted our bean sprouts fresh or blanched. They served a ton of jalapeños as well which we love. Maybe they just give more veggies in Texas! The meat was plentiful and my favorite were the slices of brisket. For drinks I got tea and I was impressed they had several options for tea - black, green, or ginger. I got the ginger tea. We both finished our pho and I was super happy with this choice. It's a lot better than options in SF or Oakland and I was happy to give it a try. There's plenty of open tables inside and remember to pay up at the cashier after your done eating. Service was very friendly as well. The inside was clean and bright.
